Demystifying Veteran Benefits
This presentation will provide a brief overview of the Veterans Health Administration, eligibility, benefits, and health offerings, including Medicare changes for 2025.
In November, we celebrate Veteran’s Day. We would like to take a moment and express a sincere thank you for service to all Village Common RI veterans. As a call to action, we are offering the following presentation to our veteran community and their families: Demystifying Veteran Benefits.
